The transaction is retroactive to August 23 and marks his first career stint on the Major League DL. Newly acquiredDH Jim Thome assumes Brantley's spot on the roster.

Tomlin has gone 12-7 with a 4.25 ERA in 26 starts for the Indians this season. He is currently tied for 9th in the American League in wins (12), 6th in WHIP (1.08) and leads the American League with 1.14 walks per 9.0IP. His disablement is retroactive to August 25 and marks his first career stint on the big league DL.

Hagadone, 25, has split the season between AA Akron and AAA Columbus where he has gone a combined 6-4 with a 2.65 ERA in 44 relief appearances. He started the year at Double-A Akron (1.59ERA, 12 games) and was promoted to Columbus on May 19.
